I'm not even gonna lie, there's lots of things I want them to do to make it better than DA II, but seriously, just give me DA III &I'll be a happy camper regardless of changes

Damn you Ninjie lol!

Be careful with that bolded part though. I mean that's like saying you WILL like the game no matter what they do. I'm pretty sure you aren't usually that blind. I mean you know I didn't care that much for DA2, but I could never have imagined that would've been the case beforehand though. Prolly where you are at with DA right now. Just know that bubble is more bustable than you think.

Give me origins with DA2's skill trees, crafting and mage and archer combat more closely resembling DA2 and I'll be a happy camper.

I'm with you on this 100 %. In addition to this I hope that we see many different places, we don't see a framed narrative story and don't see the "wave" battle mechanic for random encounters, I'll be a really happy camper.

I'm curious to see if they go with more of an open world style RPG for DA3, ala Skyrim, Oblivion or Fallout as rumored. Not sure how I feel about this idea, thoughts ?

How would the leader of the Inquisition be a mage? Wouldn't an open mage (which they would have to be to reach that position) have to join the circle, and thus, would have rebelled along with the rest of the circle?

Who said anything about leading an inquisition? They could spearhead the rebellion and crush the chantry's forces.

As for common sense, surely you've realised by now that lore be damned if it means getting in between making the game and Mike Laidlaw and David Gaider making money.

"According to that leak, you'll play as the leader of the Inquisition and can make your character “a rogue, warrior or mage and set up your crew from up to ten complex companions to lead them against those who attack you by systematically spying on, revealing and destroying them. "

Well I think you might be able to choose if you're a templar or a mage for sure...but the direction the whole story was going in Asunder isn't just about mage/templar conflict. There's a lot more to it, but we'll see.

No one knows what we're going to be playing as, or whom we're going to be playing as. That's MY GUESS. I'm assuming that we're going to pick sides, but it's not just mage/templar, I'm guessing. There might be another choice possibly. It's just theory though. And I'm just basing it off of Asunder, which may not have anything to do with DA III

I did forget about ToR. I didn't play that one being a console gamer & all. So I cannot comment on that one.

I do disagree with your ME2/3 analysis I can say. That's irrelevant though. So you didn't like the last four BW titles(one of which is the latest in the DA series), but you're still on about DA3? I just can't see why you are even slightly interested in it if that's how you feel about the last FOUR BW titles in a row.

Honestly, with ONE misstep(prolly because it's from this series specifically) I am very iffy on DA3. In fact, unless there's nothing going on for me in terms of games surrounding DA3's release, I won't even be buying it on release day. That's the first console BW release for which I can say that. All the others going back to KOTOR have been day one purchases for me.

Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh with that stance, but after three or four bombs in a row I'd be completely done with ANY dev. No matter what came before that.

Asunder hinted that the Chantry and Templars aren't completely on the same page, so it's possible that the leader of the Inquisition could be a mage, but that's a stretch. But it's not like DA hasn't done it before, they did bring the Warden back to life for an expansion pack.

because i love the mass effect and dragon age universes, i love dragon age origins, i love mass effect one, despite Mass effect 2's main plot being complete shit i still love the game, and even though dragon age 2 is a complete piece of shit i still enjoy it and am actually replaying it right now, mass effect 3 is the only game i hate with every fiber of my being. So i have my reasons to be excited for the next dragon age.

and the old republic, im just going to pretend that game didn't happen, one of the dumbest decisions bioware could have made. best to forget about it.

However, why do hate ME3 with every fiber of your being? It's the weakest of the trilogy imo as well, but it's still a good game. It's got the best combat & skill trees imo. Just curious because I find it far superior to DA2 myself.

With "your choices will matter this time, we promise" being one of the selling points, I doubt they're going to force us to side with one group or the other. They've used the term "saving the world from itself" enough times to tell us that whatever entity we're going to be a part of will have some air of neutrality to it, or just be working for the good of the many.

The Inquisition probably won't be your typical "argh mages evil burn them all in the name of Andraste" chantry group, seeing as the Seeker Cassandra seemed pretty level-headed and I doubt Leliana would run around slaughtering mages just for being mages.

Why are you acting like I derailed the thread? the only person who seemed to have a legitimate problem with what I said was you. The entire discussion was just casual back and forth between people who have discussed the same thing many times before this.

Sounds like they may be planning that choices the Inquisitor makes will decide who wins the war between mages/templars. But there's still Flemeth's role in creating the conflict in the first place to consider and what her ultimate agenda may be.
